I think if you tracked Federer's average rally length over his career you'd see a considerable progressive shortening in the last few years. He has undeniably retooled his game significantly - it's far more serve-based, he comes to the net more frequently than he has in years, and his winner and unforced error counts are much higher than they used to be.
I mean, I'd never say any athlete definitely isn't juicing, but it's simplistic to say that he is just because he's suddenly become successful again. There's a lot of reasons for his resurgence - not least of which being the inability of most of the other top players to stay on the court.
Dont follow tennis myself.You're learning quickly.
You don’t realise how painful they can be. Right up there with a torn muscle or ACL.Hang on? He just pulled out because of a blister? Are you ******* kidding me?
I think it has happened to Nishikori & Nadal in slams.Dont follow tennis myself.
Can someone tell me has a player ever retired hurt whilst actually leading a match?
Again I think that is a little simplistic. Early 2016 was Federer still in the process of adjusting his game. Edberg brought back the reemphasis on his net play, but Ljubing up his serve really allowed him the ability to conserve energy for return games. He also plays his backhand more intelligently than he did 18 months ago, which has had a huge impact on his court mileage and point lengths.If he was playing how he was in early 2016 and winning big I'd agree, but the fact that his aging body is capable of coming to the net after every serve, delivering powerful and deep returns off his opponent's serve, never relenting at all and running circles around his opponents - the kind of things he has not demonstrated in a long, long time...
Cop-out.You don’t realise how painful they can be. Right up there with a torn muscle or ACL.
It’s not like they can just pop it, and tape it up....
Careful there, some people get really upset here when you don't rate Chung as highly as they do.This was always only going one way. Chung just isn't that good.
They got too excited about him beating Novak when he wasn't hitting the ball well and his serve was probably as bad as Chung's with his new service motion and bad elbow.Was surprised to see so many buoyant about his prospects against Roger after his last couple of wins.
Mediocre serve, no net game and no variation from the baseline.
He's got some way to go to beat someone with a complete game like Roger. Luckily for Chung, Roger isn't going to be around during his prime.
If you show people the picture of his foot they'll sympathiseDumb move from Chung. He probably only had to endure another 30-40 minutes of being dominated and he could have lost properly and nobody would think any less of him. Now he’s the villain.
And still have to pay $7 if they want an egg sandwich.ANZ sponsored event and everyone gets a free fitbit

If you say so, Yoda.
I think people too quickly dismiss the physical impact of going deep into a 128-draw five-set tournament on someone who has played very few matches of that length in his lifetime.
Doubly so for someone with sort of high-impact, high-stress game of Chung.
